Fox News’s Megyn Kelly set off a firestorm this week when she stated on her show that it’s a “verifiable fact” that Santa Claus is white, but fellow Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera says he is sure the jolly Christmas icon is from Puerto Rico.

Rivera weighed in on the controversy Friday on Twitter, joking that he’s met the man in person and knows for a fact that he’s Puerto Rican.

Kelly made the comments on Wednesday night, discussing an article about black and white Santas.

“Jesus was a white man, too. It’s like we have, he’s a historical figure that’s a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?” Kelly said.

Her comments set off a flurry of criticism and discussion, although Kelly did not weigh in herself as she was absent from her show on Thursday.
